Geo-referenced list of commercial
fuel stations in Ethiopia, compiled by UNDP-EUE in Feb\March 1996. Includes
details of company, station name, town, administration area and storage
capacity for diesel, petrol and kerosene. FN=FUEL, FS=25K
A list
compiled in the late 1980's by the WFP Transport Operation in Ethiopia
(WTOE) of distance and estimated truck driving times between major towns
in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The distance and times do not take into account
any new roads that have been built or existing roads upgraded, this is
unlikely to have a major effect on the accuracy of the data. Recent updates
of current WFP haulage routes are also included, these records additionally
give 1996 haulage prices per MT per km in Ethiopian Birr.
A list
of major warehouse locations and capacities compiled by WFP in 1996. It
includes warehouse capacity in metric tonnes for the Ethiopia Grain Trade
Enterprise (EGTE) and Ethiopia Food Security Reserve Administration (EFSRA)
major storage facilities. The nearest town name, coordinates and town code
from the ET_TOWNS table are also given. FN= WARE_MAJ FS=17K
An historic
list of warehouses used during the 1980's, originally created by the Food
Security Reserve study team from the ODA in 1987. The list was last updated
by the EPPG (now the UNDP-EUE) in 1988. Obviously much of this data is
now out of date, many of the temporary storage site will have been dismantled.
However no more recent data table exists; it is presently being updated
by the DPPC (formerly RRC). The table includes storage sites for Ethiopia
and Eritrea. It lists old administration areas, locations, users, owners,
donors, warehouse dimensions, capacities, construction types, state of
repair, ease of access, distance and drive time to ports/ regional distribution
centres. FN= WAREHOUS FS=39K
A current
(!996) list of haulage companies used by WFP for food movement in Ethiopia.
Included are company names, contact persons & addresses, numbers and
carrying capacities of the hauliers' trucks. FN=WFP_HAUL FS19K
A list
of airstrips in Ethiopia and Eritrea compiled over the last 10 years from
data from the UNDP-EUE, CAA and Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). It includes
name of nearest town, coordinates, runway classification, dimensions, elevation,
surface type, orientation, slope, remarks and suitablilty for Hercules
transport planes. The data in the AIRFIELD table is more upto date, however
this list contains additional airstrips and some additional fields so is
included for completeness.
A list
of airstrips in Ethiopia and major airports in the surrounding Horn of
Africa countries, compiled by Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) pilots
during 1996. It includes geographic coordinates, runway dimensions, elevation,
surface type, facilities, classification, hazards and an identifier if
available to records in the AIRPORTS table. FN= AIRPORTS, FS=27K
A list
of telephone exchanges and stations in Ethiopia, using data from the Ethiopia
Telecommunications Authority's (ETA) quarterly statistical bulletin for
1996 (April - June). It includes a list of semi-automatic telephone stations
and analogue/ digital telephone exchanges operational, along with the number
of telephone lines, waiting subscribers, parent exchanges (for stations)
and town codes from the ET_TOWNS table. International calls may only be
made directly via digital exchanges, ETA will be providing an internet
service of some description early in 1997. FN=TEL_PHON ,FS=21K
A summary
table of food aid deliveries and local purchases compiled by the World
Food Programme (WFP). From 1992 to December 1996 it gives the total monthly
deliveries and local purchases of food aid by commodity. The food aid delivery
information is compiled from information received by WFP at the 3 major
ports supplying Ethiopia: Assab, Massawa and Djibouti. FN=FOOD_MTH, FS=20K
A summary
table of trucks capable of assisting in emergency relief operations, compiled
from the Road Transport Authority (RTA) vehicle registration database,
November 1996 snapshot. The list gives the name and address of organisations
that have registered trucks with a capacity over 35 quintals (3.5 MT).
It does not include truck cabs/ trailers as these are not thought to be
suitable for leaving the major asphalt roads. Also missed out are vehicles
that have not been inspected by the RTA for road worthiness in the last
3 years, they are assumed to be non-operational. The RTA estimate this
list to be 75 - 80% accurate, principally because certain regions (Tigray,
Southern and the smaller remote regions) do not send details of vehicles
registered in their respective region to the national RTA office. The tables
gives the total number of trucks for each organisation, with a breakdown
by age, load capacity and number of axles. FN=TRCK_RTA , FS=32K
